Subj: Re: [DR-L] Humphrey Searle
Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2003 18:31:02 -0500
I have contacted Bill Waterhouse who says he thinks he has a copy he will
copy for me. I got permission from Stainer to do that, in case I found it at
the British Library. If Bill is unable to find it, can you make a copy of
what you have if I can get a printed OK from Stainer?
Thanks,
Herb
